I'm just being a poo poo.

Actually my parents are doing some landscaping right now and they have a few not-large-but-not-small trees to get rid of. Apparently the thing they were told to do, since they don't plan on digging where the stump is going to be outside of a flowerbed or something, is cut the tree off as close to the ground as possible and then have the stump grinded down below ground level, don't even bother trying to dig it out.

Just cut it to a stump, cover it in mulch and wait a few years. There was a stump in my parents' front yard that looked like a stump. Until it was stepped on and crumbled to bits.

Probably also far less expensive in fuel too, the C175-20 V-20 on the similar Cat 797F chugs around 58 gallons per hour and has 1000 gallons of fuel tankage. The engine can get up to 220 gallons per hour at full load and it displaces 105.8 liters.

Looks like it. It grabbed one of the bars, tilted down, and then pulled the crane over.

I watch too many cartoons, my first thought is that poor crane.

What do they do with busted construction equipment? Seems like you could probably replace the non-broken parts.

Call up your dealer and say "I don't know what happened. Is this covered under the maintenance contract?"

This is the part of the "very special episode" where everyone hears a big crash and they run over to find the old hand crawling out of the crane wreckage. Everyone asks what happened and he says "I don't know, I guess that load was just too heavy. I thought I had it under control." Then the whippersnapper with the college degree says "This is why we have load charts. If you had just learned how to use it, this would have never happened."

The speed of light is also dependent on the second. You're just going in different directions from the same starting point.

I mean it�s almost as if there are 3 ground state dimensions and 3 arc state virtual dimensions that are constantly resolving to the same state through a 7D acidic time cypher, and that inertia is actually just the virtual electron state making a convergent azimuth to a point of resolution in the middle of the galaxy through empty vertical space and the resistance in the circuit that makes for the ground state proton to catch up with the virtual state, or the dreamed or imagined free will of movement making real information state changes in measurable inertial bodies. And that the speed of light (or gravitational mass) and the passage of time are relative.

Can you imagine how it must feel for those last few minutes as you hear the machine powering up? Before the searing pain sets in. gently caress everything about crawling inside big machines like these.

My own father crawls into thermal oxidizers from time to time to repair fire proof bricks and he complains that some of the younger guys won't do it. I don't blame them.

My dad had to investigate some incident where someone went into a tank at a site owned by the company he worked for to inspect it but then the stirring mechanism got turned on somehow. The stirrers grabbed onto the guy's harness and ripped him to bits.

OK now define a second.

Also justify choosing a number that's only meaningful in base 10, the scrubbiest of bases.

A second is currently defined by 9,192,631,770 cycles of a cesium-133 atom. Just round that up to 10 billion.

It's always funny to see people's reactions to almost being killed by something. In a normal video, it looks like they react and get out of the way. But you slow it down and you see that they don't start moving until the object already would have killed them or whatever. We just aren't built for these environments.

Probably people who don't understand how bullets work. "This isn't in a gun/cannon, so it isn't going to go off." Even then, people should know that explosives aren't exactly stable and decades old explosives especially aren't going to be stable.

In all accident photos that is where loose metal objects want to go, so ummm I think I'll wait outside the room.

Accidents where the spinny part rips apart? If that broke up, all of the pieces would fly out tangentially to the original circle. You are probably thinking about accidents where something metal gets near an MR and gets sucked into the big magnets.

I'm sure the factory has something akin to (and way more expensive than) a wheel balancer. Put the ring on the machine, spin it up to figure out where weights need to be added.

I mean the key word is "relatively." It still costs about $12,000 to get a pilot's license in the USA, and the cheapest flightworthy airplanes you can get are still $20k and up. Renting a Cessna is about $100/hr.

Not really OSHA related but is that per hour that the plane is running? I hear about people renting planes to go to lunch somewhere which would be lame if you're paying another 100 dollars for the hour while you're in a restaurant.
